For the Sinhala and Tamil New Year 2026, the designated color for the first meal on April 14 was red. For the anointing of oil ceremony which took place on April 15 at 6:55 AM, the traditional instruction was to wear new clothes in the same auspicious color while facing south. These colors are chosen annually based on astrological calculations to bring luck and prosperity for the new cycle.

If you missed the meal, the next significant date is the lighting of the hearth for prosperity. Red is the dominant theme across the country this week for any delayed family gatherings.
